Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn’t? I understand bandwidth limits, but how can home internet get away with giving users all the data they can use, but cell phone providers can’t?

    Oh god, taking me back to their stupid always-on-top timer on the screen. It was anxiety inducing. I’m so glad pay by the minute internet didn’t last, can you imagine??

      I can. My phone bills were over $400 for a while in the early 90s. $400 in 1994 is worth over $850 today.
